Hello all,
I am trying to move to FreeBSD from being a windows lifer. My box dual boots 2012r2 and FreeBSD 11.2 beta 3. I have multiple 4tb hard drives formatted as ntfs.
I have them set to auto mount in fstab "/dev/ada0p2 /mnt/Storage ntfs-3g rw,failok,late,mountprog=/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g 0 0"
They mount fine and are shared with samba, sometimes they mount read only. When they do I reboot and log into windows run checkdisk, it repairs the file system. I reboot back to FreeBSD they mount read write. It happens often and was wondering what I may be doing wrong or how can I correct this behavior. I looked at Testdisk "https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi...ath=FreeBSD+8.0-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html" this seems to be geared more towards recovery. I also looked at "ntfsfix -b -d /dev/ada0p2" it runs to fast to be checking the file system, is it? or is it just clearing the flags. Any paid or free alternatives to "chkdsk" or suggestions on best practice? I really do not want to change the filesystems.
Thanks
